You have to realize: OK, I don't know how to solve a political problem, I don't know how to solve the pollution problem... all I know is in my own life, I need to figure out some sense of purpose, I need to figure out how to be happy... and I'm willing.

I grew up bar-singing and saw all kinds of ways people tried to outrun their emotional pain. It doesn't work.

It's best to take a deep breath, bolster yourself, and walk through it.

I grew up doing live tours and playing in bars, so it was what I love to do.

I have hundreds and hundreds of songs waiting to get on albums, but I don't know about the three-month radio tours and if I'll be interested in that. I haven't figured it out, but I will definitely be doing music, whether it is independent or with a major record label.

Optimism is a choice. Cynicism isn't smarter - it's just safer.

I want my whole life to be a great work of art, not just my art. And that means paying attention to my entire life and trying to make sure my whole life is balanced.

I was homeless and I was in San Diego and I started singing in a local coffee shop and people started coming to hear me sing.

We'll fight, not out of spite For someone must stand up for what's right 'Cause where there's a man who has no voice There ours shall go singing My hands are small I know But they're not yours, they are my own But they're not yours, they are my own I am never broken In the end only kindness matters In the end only kindness matters

I have a life that I enjoy I try and value the things that I think are worth valuing and everything else is icing. You know, it is a kick to go down the red carpet in that dress and then you go back home.

I'm becoming more and more myself with time. I guess that's what grace is. The refinement of your soul through time.
